The recently retired Stern was elected Friday to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and will be enshrined with the class of 2014 on Aug. Caleb Daniel didnt have long to soak up the Western Bulldogs premiership triumph, the busy midfielder undergoing shoulder surgery just days after the drought-breaking win.With celebrations still in full swing, Daniel went in for a shoulder reconstruction that will have him on a modified pre-season program until mid-January.We had to manage it for a fair portion of the season, but it didnt give me too many issues, Daniel told AAP.It was all just down to a bit of wear and tear. There were a couple of little incidents, but nothing too bad.Ive still got some rehab to go, Im about seven-and-a-half weeks in, but Im doing all of the running. Its coming along well.Im lucky in the sense that I dont have to just sit on the bike or anything like that ... I can do all of the running so I think that will definitely help.Despite the nagging issue, Daniel still managed 24 of a possible 26 games in a breakout season in which he finished second to Sydneys Callum Mills in the AFLs Rising Star award.The 20-year-old spent a large portion of his off-season in home town Adelaide where the historic grand final win oover Sydney was a hot topic of discussion with family and friends.ddddddddddddBut he says the enormity of winning the clubs second premiership flag after a 62-year wait only really hit home when he returned this week to Whitten Oval.I dont think I really thought about it too much until we got back into the swing of things, he said.It feels like its almost coming to life more now that were back together for pre-season.As much as well get flogged by the coaches, (the premiership win) definitely makes pre-season a lot more enjoyable.The first-to-fourth-year Bulldogs will be joined by the rest of the squad next week but, even at this early stage, Daniel can already sense one grand final win wont be enough to satisfy the group.Were going to work as hard, if not harder, than we did last year, he said.We dont know what the future holds but well be working as hard as we possibly can to achieve that again.Theres no better feeling than holding that cup up ... it was amazing.
